64. Painful news.
Skip for those who cannot read it..!!
🌹🌹🌹
In the afternoon bad news arrived at the Battalion. Bang Winata came home with a lethargic face.
"Why is lethargic so Pa?" anya asked Bang Winata's wife while nodding her drink at her pale-faced husband.
"There is sad news ma, there are members who were shot, there are also those who died" replied Bang Winata finally unable to stem the tears.
Anya could catch the sadness in Bang Winata's eyes.
Who was shot.. And who died Bang?" ask Anya again.
"Maa." suddenly Bang Winata sobbed.
"Prophe pa..!!" Anya rubbed Bang Winata's back.
***
The battalion was in mourning and put up a flag at half-mast.
Danyon stands on the podium. All the members' wives have been crying sobbing in six months of waiting. Initially this news was deliberately stored, but the dormitory was a talking wall.. it's just that no one knows who returned home with name after country and who was injured in the battle field.
The wives of the soldiers who were left behind sat anxiously waiting for who the sons of the fallen nation might be and whether the wounded could still be saved.
Asya was not separated from the crying, he walked limply in the aid of Anya and Netta who also grieved in this situation. Nafa came soon. Nafa and Asya hugged. This time Nafa looked calm there. Papa Wira asked him to come and join the wives of other soldiers.
"How are you, Asya?" ask Nafa with teary eyes.
The two hugged but somehow the two couldn't help but cry.
Shortly the sound of sirens entered the Battalion's main gate and stopped in front of the hall followed by several trucks behind him.

Asya's legs felt heavy, he trembled as the flag-covered coffin entered the hall room.
"Ohin..!!!!!!!!" asya's scream reflexes were so poignant that it shocked everyone who was there.
"Asya come with Brother..!!!!" shouted again.
Some members tried to calm Asya down but all seemed futile. Asya rebelled until her breath felt tight. Before long he held his stomach which felt stiffened greatly.
"Bu Rico.. Mr. Rico......."
"Aarrggh.." Asya squeezed her stomach and then rebelled and intended to run closer to the coffin.
"Ohinya..!!!!" Asya regardless of the care of the members and the wives of other members.
As Asya stepped up, there was someone who drew Asya's hand. Asya rebelled not because it could not be pacified.
"Sad.. It's Brother.. Brother has come home dear" said Bang Rico then hugged Asya tightly.
Asya looked up and made it clear who was hugging him. Asya's eyes clearly saw the figure of the husband's face that was filled with wounds. There were only uniforms on both shoulders.
"Abaaang???"
"Yes this is Brother" Bang Rico replied.
Bang Rico coughed to a small bite of his lip, and there Bang Yudha had wanted to ban Asya.
"Abang jahaaatt..!!" there was the sound of sobs of Asya again until shortly Asya collapsed on Bang Rico.
"I..!! Why you deck??" Bang Rico panicked to see Asya who looked so in pain.
"Abang.please Asya.." said Asya as if running out of energy.
Bang Rico glanced down and saw that something was wetting Asya's feet.
"Astagfirulah.."
"Bang Win. Help me Bang..!!" panic Bang Rico.
Bang Winata confused which one he should prioritize, but saw his sister almost fainted from shock. Bang Winata runs towards Bang Rico.
"Be careful of your chest Ric, don't do any heavy activity. You can still live with gratitude" Bang Winata loudly reprimanded when Bang Rico raised Asya's body.
"Later nagging Bang. My son is in danger, it looks like Asya is contracting" Bang Rico replied.
"Don't worry you Ric. His gestational age has not even been eight months khan" said Bang Winata.
Bang Rico no longer answered him, he continued his steps towards the ambulance.
...
There Mama Dinda and Papa Wira participated in the official reception. There Isak restrained from the beautiful Nafa, now he knows that the husband has gone home for good. Nafa brought a flower bucket that he actually prepared to welcome the arrival of Bang Acep, but it was too late.
Six months he opened his heart to be able to accept the presence of Bang Acep in his life, once he already had that feeling.
Nafa walked up to the coffin, rubbed it, and kissed it.
"Hi hero, you're finally home too. Know Brother.. Nafa is very long for warm fondling and laughter with Brother, thank you for the time you have given. Nafa loves you brother. I Love you Pratu Acep Baharuddin" Nafa placed a flower bucket and kissed the coffin once again. Now the rank is higher.
There were footsteps approaching Nafa. Bang Pandu handed Bang Acep's cell phone.
"Good day, this is Pratu Acep's cell phone. The deceased wanted his wife to hear his heart just before he breathed his last"
Nafa received the phone, his tears dripping.
"Sendu Nafasya Arumdalu Valley.. Parasmu is as beautiful as the name owner. Blessing for you can marry a girl as beautiful as you, what is the power of your brother who has dared to marry the daughter of a high officer. Brother is just a grain of dust behind the solid rock. But really, I love you. You are not ashamed to be the wife of a soldier like me and only courage is at stake.but believe me, you get this rank with struggle, sweat, weeping and blood.. like your wonderful brothers. It was an honor to be in their midst.
Bang Pandu approaching Nafa.
"Still strong deck?" tanyanya.
"Yes. I must be strong..!!" the answer goes hand in hand with increasingly heavy tears.
"Fasya darling.." - Bang Acep's voice.
